Liberty University's New MFA in Script and Screenwriting

I think Liberty University, Arizona State University, and University of Florida are on a mission to offer online degrees in everything.

The thing that sets Liberty apart from the other two is the focus on Christian themed films, television, screenwriting and production. This is indeed big business and with a built-in faith based audience, it has continued to grow, especially since the turn of the century. Whether it continues to grow, still remains to be seen. But as someone who attends a megachurch regularly, and has been in attendance when a new film comes out, it is promoted heavily throughout the church community and there is an avid fan base to draw from. This might just be worth a look to those that have an interest in this area.

 

I don't know if the other two have online screenwriting programs. I'm just amazed at how many different majors these three are pumping out. University of Florida is more STEM-focused, though.

 

Rare case of Liberty playing catch-up online with other Evangelical Christian schools. Regent, Asbury, and Houston Christian all have online or low-res MFAs in screenwriting.

 

I was just about to mention Regent's screenwriting program. They're another university with a lot of online programs, but they don't have many STEM or uncommon programs.
